Planting a Garden

Last Saturday I got the urge to plant a garden in my parents' front yard.  I had my dad go to home depot to pick out flowers and veggies.  I wanted him to pick them out since it's his house and I wanted him to be happy with the choices.

Of course my dad did all the weeding and prepping of the bed lol!  But I organized the flowers and veggies into the areas I wanted them planted.

I planted all the flowers...

 Marigolds

Sweet Alyssiums

 Irises (these were bulbs that just come up year after year)

I also planted this jalapeno pepper plant.  I had to plant it on the other side of the garden from the veggies my dad was planting because my dad was planting red and yellow bell peppers.  Hot and sweet peppers cross pollinate.  John and I learned that lesson the hard way when we lived in Flagstaff and couldn't figure out while the hot peppers we planted were so mild!

Here is my dad planting 3 tomato plants, 2 sweet pepper plants, cilantro, chives, and a few other herbs.

My dad refuses to get a facebook account so I had to get him on the world-wide web in one way or another bwwwwahahahaha!!!!!

I can't wait till these flowers and vegetable really begin to thrive!
